I'm happy with the feedback I received on my Velocity talk.&nbsp; The room was overflowing
and several people approached me afterward to tell me they liked it.
</p>
<p>
By far, the best part of this conference was the opportunity to share ideas and interact
one-on-one with bright people in the developer community.
</p>
<p>
One of the best jobs I ever had was working with the great people at GA Sullivan in
Cincinnati.&nbsp; That company no longer exists but many former employees were in
Wilmington for this conference.&nbsp; It was great catching up with these folks after
all these years.

My topic is Using Microsoft Distributed Cache to speed your application.
This is similar to a talk I gave last summer at three user groups in Ohio and
Michigan. However, the topic is more relevant now as the release of Microsoft
Velocity nears. I have updated and expanded my presentation and written all
new demos for this talk.

A consistent caching strategy becomes critical as enterprise applications grow in
size. With Velocity, Microsoft finally has a product in the enterprise caching
space.
